SUCCESSFUL YEAR ANNUAL MEETING (Herald Correspondent.) The annual meeting of the Waikohu Golf Club, held in the Parish Hall, Te Karaka, was presided over by Mr. L. H. Maclean. In his report the secretary, Mr. W. V. Luttrell, stated that the club’s sixth year had been very successful and the new links laid out had proved very satisfactory. The club was indebted to Messrs.
